It rumbles and roars and exudes of 1864 history in Sønderborg during the last weekend in June.
Friday from 4:30 pm to 6 pm the historic procession arrives at Rådhustorvet in Sønderborg, where the Mayor and Countess Danner sounds the starting gun for this year’s days of 1864.
On Saturday, the soldiers’ camp opens on the Kær peninsula north of Sønderborg with fighting demonstrations, camp life, jugglers, tales and lots of activities for the whole family. Try the bowling alley, meet the barber, the shoe polisher and the photographer, as we turn back time more than 150 years.
The main event will be Sunday early morning; the scene where the Prussian soldiers in pitch darkness cross the water Alssund. We are executing this at the historically correct time, namely at 2 o’clock at night. Here the cannons will burst, and the Danish armoured ship “Rolf Krake” will emerge and try to stop the attack by firing at the boats with the Prussian soldiers.
